94-98 Galants came with 15's but I doubt they are that wide. You can also get thin spacers to clear the captive rotor bolt heads but you won't need them for more oem mitsu/hyundai wheels.

92-95 elantra's came with 14's. What gen Galants are you looking at? I'm pretty sure that all 94-98 models had 15's.

i used later model nissian sentra steelies. THey were 15" and i think 6 or 7 inch wide.. i think 6...

the center hub hole was a tiny but too small (like thousandths of a inch) so i tool a die grinder and opened it up a tiny bit... the sentra steelies have the divots for the captive hub bolts to fit into so there is no issues with the bolt heads hitting the wheel. And they are 4X 114mm just like the 3G colts.

other then that there are some aftermarket companies that make steelies any size, any offset and any width im sure...
